If you’re an Oreo lover, this no-bake Oreo Pudding Dessert is your dream come true. Creamy, chocolatey, and irresistibly easy to make—it’s the ultimate crowd-pleaser for any celebration!
Why I love this Oreo Delight
This Oreo pudding dessert is pure summertime nostalgia in a pan. I was halfway through a bite and caught myself humming “it feels like summaaa”—yes, it’s that good.
Think Oreo Blizzard Cake vibes, but homemade and arguably just as satisfying (maybe even better?). It’s rich, creamy, loaded with cookies, and practically guaranteed to be a hit at any potluck, holiday parties, or weeknight dinner. No matter the time of year, the whole family loves this no bake oreo layer dessert.
The best part? It’s easy to throw together, requires zero baking, and will definitely be making repeat appearances in our kitchen for years to come.
And if you for all of my oreo lovers out there, try another amazing dessert on APOP like my oreo dip or my oreo puppy chow, too!
Recipe Ingredients
- Oreos – We’ll use traditional Oreos and Oreo thins. Best of both worlds!
- Melted butter – To form the crust. Unsalted.
- Cold milk – To make the pudding. I used 2% Country fresh milk.
- Oreo Instant Pudding Mix – The cookies ‘n cream flavor. You can also use instant vanilla pudding or instant chocolate pudding depending on preference.
- Whipped Topping – We’ll mix this with the pudding for extra fluffiness.
- Ghirardelli Chocolate Fudge – For drizzling on top.
See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.
Substitutions and Variations
- Not a chocolate lover? Try using Golden Oreos, Nilla Wafers or Nutter Butters for the crust and vanilla or banana pudding for the filling.
- Consider a cheesecake variety. Add a cream cheese layer made by blending half of the creamy pudding and a cup of rich cream cheese.
- Do you know how many Oreo flavors there are?!?! That’s how many variations you can make of this dish!! Use mint oreos during the holiday season or s’mores oreos in the summer! You can’t go wrong. Just promise me you’ll leave a review and report back with your creations 😛
How to Make This Recipe
1. Start by making the crust for the oreo cake. Place 2 of the 3 sleeves of Oreos in a large storage bag. Remove the air from the bag and seal. Crush the oreos until they’re crumbled. You may use a food processor to finely pulse if you’d like.
2. Melt the butter and pour into the plastic bag of crushed oreos. Toss together until all the butter is absorbed.
3. Line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper. Spread the crushed oreo mixture into the bottom of the pan to create an oreo cookie crust. Place in the freezer to harden.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the cold milk and cookies & cream instant pudding, whisking for 5 minutes until pudding forms. Fold in a thawed cool whip tub to the oreo pudding. Stir until combined.
5. Layer half of the cookies & cream pudding mixture into the oreo crust pan. Spread evenly.
6. Pour chocolate sauce on top of the cool whip layer and gently swirl.
7. Place the oreo thins in an even layer across the pan. I did a 5 column x 7 row grid.
8. Layer the remaining cookies and then cream pudding mixture on the cake. Spread evenly. With the last sleeve of the regular oreos, pulse a few times in a food processor or crumble in a plastic baggie again. Spread oreo crumbs on top. Drizzle the oreo pie with remaining chocolate fudge syrup.
9. Cover with tinfoil and place in the freezer. Allow the cake to set for at least 2 hours before serving. Store in the freezer but remove 15 minutes prior to serving for ease of cutting! ENJOY!
PRO TIPS
The ghirardelli chocolate sauce is quite thick. To help drizzle, microwave a glass bowl with 2 cups of water until boiling. Place the bottle of chocolate sauce in the water and let it warm.
Recipe FAQs
Store this Oreo Delight in the freezer covered tightly with plastic wrap or tin foil. It holds best frozen, then remove the cake from the freezer 10-15 minutes before serving for easy slicing.
Stick with instant pudding to keep this truly no-bake. Cook-and-serve pudding will require stovetop prep and cooling and may alter the texture (I haven’t tested it with cook-and-serve).
Yes! This no bake Oreo dessert is best when chilled for at least 4 hours, but overnight is even better. It helps the layers set and the flavors meld, so make ahead is preferred. If you’re making for a crowd, this oreo dessert recipe can be make in individual cups ahead of time for easier serving.
Making your own whipped cream
Skip the store bought tub of cool whip and make your own! Here’s quick guide to making whipped topping from heavy whipping cream:
- Chill the bowl and beaters for 10–15 minutes in the fridge or freezer (cold tools whip better).
- Pour cold heavy whipping cream (at least 1 cup) into the chilled bowl.
Add sweetener and flavoring (optional): 1–2 tbsp powdered sugar and ½ tsp vanilla extract.
Beat on medium-high speed with a hand mixer or stand mixer until soft or stiff peaks form (2–4 minutes). - Watch closely—overbeating can turn it into butter!
- Use immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
Fun Idea
This delicious dessert really reminds me of my Dirt Cake Cookies – so feel free to top it with gummy worms or gummy bears for more of a dirt dessert vibe!
